Summary

The goal of this observational study is to use digital health tracking to improve how high blood pressure and other health issues are detected in pregnant refugee women. The main questions this study aims to answer are are: * Can a digital monitoring system that checks for high blood pressure in these women be tested and refined, using clinical training and validation? * Can this digital monitoring system accurately track any related pregnancy health issues and be used to refer participants to care providers? * Can this system be used to accurately identify risks associated with the contraction of pregnancy-related conditions, such as preeclampsia and high blood pressure? Participants will: * Complete baseline and follow-up in-person appointments; * Complete surveys at these appointment that track their health, stress levels, and comorbidities/risks associated with pregnancy; * Be given a smartwatch fitness tracker and electronic blood pressure cuffs for at-home measurements.
